Hi Peter, can I talk to you for a moment. I just heard the cookie factory downtown is going out of business.
Where did you hear that?
Sara told me.
I'm not sure that's true. I haven't heard anything about it.
She said that they have already started to lay people off.
Doesn't your father work there?
Yes, I'm really worried he might get laid off, he just started to work there about three months ago. What do you think I should do?
I'd talk to your father.
Yeah, but if there was something wrong I don't think he'd tell me. He doesn't like to upset me, but I really would like to know what's going on.
So what are you gonna do?
Aren't you good friends with the president of that company?
Yes, we use to work together at a different company about five years ago.
Maybe you could call him and see what's going on.
Well, I don't know. I guess I could. It's pretty late now, but I'll call him in the morning.
OK, thanks so much.
